I started my shop when I started to make too many crafty things for me to use or give away. I experimented with a few different items, but have really found my niche with the little boxy pouches--they're perfect for so many different uses, and it's been a thrill sending them all around the world.

My shop name comes from my favorite novel, I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. The "six penny book" is the first journal that the main character, Cassandra, writes her thoughts in. Aside from having a nice ring to it, to me the title represents my starting out from small beginnings, but putting my whole heart into the project and seeing where it goes.
